Description

Lawrence of Arabia (Columbia, 1962). French Double Grande
(63" X 91").
This is the film that virtually defined "epic." Winner of seven
Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, David Lean's
unforgettable war film made a star of Peter O'Toole. Based on T. E.
Lawrence's own self-published memoir The Seven Pillars of
Wisdom, it tells the story of one man's journey into the
desert, where he sides with the Arabs in their rebellion against
the Turks. The magnificent French double grande format is quite
rare, and this is only the second time it's been presented by
Heritage. It's punctuated by the iconic image of Lawrence's face
enigmatically draped in shadow. The artwork is by Georges Kerfyser
(Earth Versus the Flying Saucer, The Long Haul,
Blow-up). The only touchup required was to fold wear (some with
tears in O'Toole's face), creases in the image area and background,
and a tear in the top left background and bottom left corner. Fine+
on Linen.
